boons and banes of PKN: An author’s story
i sat next to a PLKN-girl bound for Kem Paya Indah Kuala Langat from Kuching.
Her name was Ping Pei/Pey.Very friendly. The whole MS2515 flight was filled with students(SPM leavers) bound for PKN
She asked wether her Kem was near to KL. I said no, no ,..its more nearer to rivers..but u have pekans of course..
Nearly 80% of her questions is about KL. whats the difference, what do we eat, what languange should she speak( she ’s not good in bahasa melayu)
i tell her the truth of course…, traffic jams, toll,and nasi lemak all day long.
I can sense she’s very enthusiastic. some of her friends were first time flyers, they read safety pamphlets from cover to cover, gave full attention to safety demo by stewards and i even noticed some of them kept extra plastic bag( read;air sickness) in their hand-luggages just in case
this is a story of a sarawikian going to semenanjung.
i wonder whats the other side story.
kl folks going to sarawak? God Bless Your Soul
Btw, upon arriving i looked a lot like i was part of the PKN group( i travel without my family u c..). Apart fom the occasianal questions of " Dapat kem Paya Indah ke Kuala Kubu Bharu?"
i was even asked to line up by an askar " Dik, dik nak pegi maner nh, PKN semua beratur sini.."
" oh ,saya bukan PKN", much to my amusement which drew
Laughter from the WHOLE 3.5 metre line..
sorry soldier!
well, my very good friend maisarah has just came back fom her stint for her hari raya aidiladhha break
" berehat setelah penat berkhidmat kepada negara ", as she would put it.
i just hoped she eats a lot b4 going back to marching regime.
any more stories bout PKN, please share…
